Let's go MSBJ!! I am sure when we get back from this one you will be ready to go again.

It is very close to Erik's birthday! but it is 3 days after the Talledaga (NASCAR) race, which we usually do for his birthday..... I don't think I can talk him into it & he said this is the last short cruise (repeated iteniearies have got him burnt out on cruising).

We sailed the Inspiration in 2006 and 2007 - right before the refurbish!! This year we booked the Victory - then we see pictures of the refurbished Inspiration - made us wish we were going on the Inspiration!!!

Have fun!!! We are thinking of booking the Inspiration either later this year or next year.

Good for you Dave. The lovely Mrs. Jones (Vita) and I sail "Inspiration" on March 10th, so I'll let you know what we thought of the new upgrades. (We loved this ship before the drydock, so I've got high expectations for her after). Perhaps we can sail with you in October, however I've already got "Legend" booked for Halloween at the end of October. We'd love to share a ship with you!

Hey Ken,
Long time no chat! Hope you and your lovely Mrs have a great time on your upcoming cruise! Me, I'm looking again but so far this year looks like I'm gonna have to settle for cruising for a little higher than $50 daily, to give you a long-ovedue answer to your question. I think our 5-6 year run of cruising for next to nothing is coming to an end!

Please do. Take some good pictures!! That Halloween cruise sounds good. The Inspiration sails over halloween too but I need to be at home with kids for that. We still Trick or Treat!

I'll take a long hard look at cruising with you Dave. If I can come up with the time off, we'll do it! I have no doubt it would be GREAT FUN.
Captain, I wondered if you would be able to stick to the $50 per day limit the way things are now. I usually find it difficult to even go for $75 per day. I'm still working so can't go on a moments notice, but as soon as I retire I hope to join you in the last minute cruise thing.

Dave...you do know that VW is re-introducing the Micro Bus next fall, so when you come I'll rent one (bright yellow) and we can cruise Bourbon Street and you can wear your Austin Powers outfit and I'll wear my Samuel L. Jackson outfit from Pulp Fiction..and we will have Mel wear her Peggy Lipton outfit from the Mod Squad

Thanks Ken. It is not as easy as that but after 14 years in the same place. I sit in my office, work on the phone and email, make appoints and close 80% of the people I talk to. Previous customers and referrals is all I do. Oh, and post on Cruise Mates all day!
